Hmm, already seven days into the month and I’m finally getting to the list of what’s in season at the moment. Sorry folks, better late than never . . .

All the “in season” lists I’ve seen so far have listed bananas, but price-wise they’re still rivalling gold bullion, so I’m not including them. Surely they have to come down in price some time soon?

• Apples (Lady Williams)
• Apricots are coming into season, although they’re still exy
• Avocadoes
• Blueberries are coming down in price (I bought a punnet for $3.99 on the weekend)
• Cherries are coming into season, although they’re at their best December / January
• Grapefruit
• Kiwifruit
• Lemons
• Mangoes are not at their peak, but the season has started and they’ve been cheap
• Melons are coming into season (rockmelon, honeydew and water melon)
• Mulberries
• Nectarines are coming into season, although they’re still expensive and will get better December / January
• Oranges (Valencias)
• Pawpaw and papaya
• Peaches are coming into season, although they’re still expensive and will get better December / January
• Pineapples
• Plums are coming into season, although they’ll get better and cheaper over the next month.
• Strawberries are still not at their peak, but they’ve been a good price and reasonable quality

• Artichokes (globe)
• Asian greens (bok choy etc)
• Asparagus
• Beans (green beans and broad beans)
